16:15 BST - Liverpool v Southampton
That is all from this particular live blog, but stay with IBTimes UK and click here for live coverage of Liverpool's clash with Southampton at Anfield. It's a 16:15 BST kick-off for Jurgen Klopp's first home Premier League game in charge.
That was far from the exciting derby clash that most fans and neutrals had hoped for, with defences largely on top throughout and a dearth of clear-cut chances save for a brief flurry towards the end of the 90 minutes. It is, however, enough for City to go above Arsenal and return to the top of the Premier League by virtue of their superior goal difference.
Lingard's impetuous second-half flick that struck the crossbar was the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock and United remain two points adrift of the summit in fourth, level on points with in-form West Ham and just ahead of Leicester.
No shortage of goals for Tottenham at Dean Court, though, where a Harry Kane treble and efforts from Dembele and Lamela secured an an emphatic victory over a Bournemouth side who took the lead after just 49 seconds courtesy of Ritchie. A very poor afternoon for the Cherries and goalkeeper Boruc in particular.
A first yellow card of the afternoon awarded by Clattenburg as Fernandinho naively trips Anthony Martial. The free-kick is dealt with, before good interplay between Toure and Kevin de Bruyne at the other end finishes with the former Chelsea man skewing his attempted cross wide of David de Gea's left-hand post.
In Manchester, United have had a couple of dangerous forays forward down the right flank through Antonio Valencia and Yaya Toure is very fortunate indeed not to have been booked for a blatant foul on Wayne Rooney.
Mark Clattenburg, who sent off Dwight Gayle for two bookable offences during Crystal Palace' 3-1 loss to West Ham last weekend, displaying a fair bit of leniency early on.
Kick-off at Old Trafford and Dean Court to come shortly, but a reminder that IBTimes UK will also bring you live coverage of Liverpool v Southampton from Anfield later this afternoon.
In today's early fixture, Sunderland claimed yet more bragging rights in the Tyne-Wear derby as goals from Adam Johnson, Billy Jones and Steven Fletcher secured new boss Sam Allardyce a morale-boosting 3-0 win over bitter rivals Newcastle.
As for Bournemouth, first-choice goalkeeper Artur Boruc is fit to return after sustaining a thigh injury during the warm-up before the 5-1 defeat to Manchester City last time out. Adam Federici is on the bench.
Andrew Surman has recovered from a calf problem to retain his place in midfield, with Marc Pugh and Josh King called in to replace Adam Smith and Eunan O'Kane.
Harry Arter is still out, as are long-term injury victims Tyrone Mings, Callum Wilson and Max Gradel. Captain Tommy Elphick is not expected to play again until the new year with an ankle issue.
In this afternoon's other 14:05 BST kick-off, Tottenham's Eric Dier starts alongside Dele Alli in midfield with Nacer Chadli ruled out for up to six weeks due to ankle ligament damage suffered during the 0-0 draw with Liverpool last weekend.
Ryan Mason, who travelled with his teammates to Anderlecht on Thursday but did not play in the 2-1 Europa League defeat, returns to the matchday squad having been sidelined since mid-September with a knee issue.
Kyle Walker, Danny Rose and Harry Kane all start, but Ben Davies drops out altogether.
Nabil Bentaleb, Heung-Min Son, Alex Pritchard and Tom Carroll remain absent.
City are again without the services of injured crop Sergio Aguero, Fabian Delph, David Silva, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy this afternoon.
Louis van Gaal is missing left-back Luke Shaw as he continues to recover from surgery to repair that horrific double break suffered against PSV Eindhoven last month. Defender Paddy McNair is still absent with a ruptured liver suffered on international duty for Northern Ireland in Helsinki a fortnight ago.
Ashley Young has returned to training following a calf problem that forced him to miss matches against Arsenal and Everton respectivelt, but he is not deemed fit enough to feature at all today.
Manchester United make one change to the side who laboured to a somewhat lifeless 1-1 Champions League draw against CSKA Moscow in midweek, with Juan Mata recalled to the starting lineup in place of young Jesse Lingard. Ander Herrera retains his place in midfield.
City, meanwhile, change three from the XI that secured a last-gasp 2-1 win over Sevilla at the Etihad Stadium. Aleksandar Kolarov is preferred to Pablo Zabaleta at full-back, while captain Vincent Kompany returns from a calf problem to partner Nicolas Otamendi in the heart of defence and Eliaquim Mangala drops to the bench. Pellegrini also opts to selects robust midfielder Fernando instead of inconsistent winger Jesus Navas.
Young attacking duo Patrick Roberts and Kelechi Iheanacho are listed as substitutes after being ineligible for European duty.
After years of living firmly in the shadow of their illustrious and highly successful rivals, 'noisy neighbours' Manchester City have had the upper-hand in derby clashes against United over recent seasons with an impressive six victories in their last eight Premier League meetings.
Manuel Pellegrini's side travel to Old Trafford for the latest installment with the chance to leapfrog Arsenal back to the top of the table, yet they will have to contend with the absence of several key players due to injury.
We will have all the breaking team news and confirmed line-ups from that encounter shortly, as well as details of Tottenham's visit to Bournemouth.
